THAT'S NOT A BLUR...THAT IS OUR WINNING STREAK!!!

These photos were from a few weeks ago during the All*Star Baseball Tournaments.

I only took 837 pictures.

I chose just 4 to share with you.

Can you say snap happy?

I was even approached by someone asking if I was with the Press.

Chase's team had a great season.

We won our District Championship.

We played three games at the State playoffs.

We lost two.

The last photo of Chase really says it all.

The sadness and disappointment.

I wish I had a picture of my face.

It was not nearly as sad.

I had been running to games, practices and scrimmages since April.

I was just ready to get started on the lazy days of summer.

Up to that point...

I hadn't been feeling the lazy.

I guess Chase hadn't either.

The first thing he asked for?

A slushie and a dive in the pool.

AN OPEN LETTER TO THE BASEBALL DUDE ON SECOND BASE

Dear Baseball Dude on Second Base,

Don't think for a minute that I was not watching the baseball game last night. I was. It was MY son who hit the awesome line drive to center field. Yes, the one that your center fielder scooped up and threw to you. The one that you then rocket launched into my sons back. The last time this mama checked the rules of the game, there was no rule that allowed a player to throw the ball AT a player. Yet, that is exactly what you did. My son hit the ball. Actually, he hit the crap out of the ball. He ran to first. As he rounded first base, headed for second...you threw the rocket. Did you forget for a minute that you were playing the game of baseball? Because from where I stood, you looked like you were in "Dodge Ball Mode". Was it really necessary to throw the ball AT him? Do you have any idea the enormity of the bruise you left behind? Huge! Bigger than the state of Texas.

My husband said it was an accident. He said you were just throwing it to the first baseman and our son got caught in the crossfire. He said it happens. Bruises are part of the game.

I say the score was 7-1. Our favor. Accident? I am not buying it.

Sincerely,

The Mama whose son you left a bruise on the size of the state of Texas

(* Please note this was all in fun. I would never harass a child. That is not my style.)
